  7. Stihl or Husky…Stihl or husky...OR Echo? Heard a few positive comments about the Echo top handle saw, but do I trust my hard earned cash to a relative unknown? Stihl I`ve worked with before over the last two years in Canada and Husqavarna I`ve seen everywhere working to par with their German cousin.. But Echo, I hear their light, trusty and cheaper but are they sturdy? do they have the guts? Fill me in guys. Cheers James "Clodhopper Hamfist":001_tongue:

  11. [quote This is a discussion forum, not some were for score settling and bickering, I don't want to come on here and read post after post of peoples winging about this that and the other! I posted my question in the general forum, where you post a subject when your not sure where it goes...Again my question was for information, no score settling going on friend, and no WInging either looking for discussion and help.
  12. As for the "old boys" accusation, what a joke!! ???
  13. Alas if I made a mistake in my transaction on Ebay, which I dont believe I did, why would a seperate discussion forum censor my straightforward question?
  14. Im curious I didnt see in the rules about this but, I posted a question last night about a company called treequip, I was looking for some information as I have just had a expensive encounter with them on Ebay. This morning I had a rude reply here in my private messages and my posted question from last night has been deleted...Ok so censorship of valid questions is a little to Autocratic for my tastes, and Im still none the wiser as to who this treequip is, Im a new starter to the Arbiculture business Im finding it expensive, exhausting and a little intimidating am I now to understand that its exclusive too, I love this work but dont want to put up with "old school boys" who piss on the new guys...
